1'0 all whoma't mag concern:

Be t known that I, JoI-IN EDWARD Pom- TON, a British sub ect, residing at, lwestwood l/Vorks, Peterborough, in the county of Northants, England, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements Relating to. Machines for the Mixing and Kneading of like bearing and may also have rotating or turning gear arrangediintegrally therewith.

- Suoh a rotatable pan or trough-with its trunnion or like bearing and turning gear is made portable or removable by mounting the sameupon' a wheeled truck or base.

The objectof this invention is to facilitate the movement of such pans relatively to the machine or machines withwhich they are employed and to economically provide for the advantageous .use withsuch-ina- Cl11Il6S of a in dough-making machines of a container consisting of a plain bowl or the like pro-.

vided with rollers or castors, a rotatable table or platform formed and arranged integrally with such a machine, and means for the detachable connection of the said V lmeading machine to which the invention is applicable. 1 I I a Figure 3 is a plan of therotatable table, whilst Figure 4 is a side elevation, and Figure 5' a front elevation showing the bowl and table in detachable connection in accordance with this invention.

The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same or similar parts.

As is shown at Figures 1 and 2, the container a; is a plain cylindrical bowl formed from a pressed steel plate or otherwise and fitted beneath its lower or closed end with wheels or runners. Two of such wheels as b, 0,

may be mounted at opposite ends of one axle,

while the other 03 is preferably arranged as plurality or series of pans or The revolving table or platform for. the bowl or container aforesaid may conven ientlybe formed from a disc 6 of sufiicient diameter 'to serve as a platform for the reception of the bowl-a and having projecting from its under side a pin or gudgeon' 7.

on which is secured a worm wheel 9, the latter being engaged by a worm h driven in any convenient manner from the machine of which the said table or platform is a part.

In the example illustrated the driving of theplatform is efiected through the mediumof chain gearing The rotatable table or platform a is housed orjmounted within a casing j which ing I of the machine.

The pre-ferred means for the detachable connection of the bowl to the platform 6 are illustrated at Figures 3, 4 and 5.

On the upper surface of the platform e there are lugs or shoes as Z, m, a, formed with or secured to the platform, and to the under surface of the bowl at there are attached the feet or locating members. 0, p, g which respectively engage the aforesaid shoes when the bowl is wheeled on the platform. The shoes mand a are fitted with hinged latches as r. The platform is also provided with guards as '8' for the bowl wheels lb andc and as t for the castor d, and with abutments or bufier stops as a for the bracketsv secured to the bowl; such brackets serve as buffers in'addition' to carrying the axle .w of the wheels 79, 0. v

The bowl a is wheeled or pushed on to the platform 6, in the direction indicated by the arrow at Figure 3, until it is brought to rest by the contactof the said brackets '0 withthe abutments. The aforesaid latches r are v(prior to the pushing of the bowl on to. the platform) turned on their hinges to the out of service position to permit the locating membersp,q,to pass into engagement with the shoes, m, a, as the bowl is wheeled on to the platform. When the bowl is in position on the platform the latches 1' are brought back to the service position, shown at Figures hand 5, to prevent withdrawal of the bowl. The latter is thus retained' against .movement' onits wheels'by swivelling movementto permit of ready handl ng of the bowl or receptacle lntl'illlSlt from one posltlon to another.

the said latches 1' in the one direction and by the abutments or buffer stops to in the opposite direction, whilst lateral movement is prevented by the engagement of the feet or locating members, 0, p, with the shoes I Z, m, n.

I Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a dough mixing and kneading machine, the combination comprising a portable bowl, a rotatable platform housed in said machine, locating members on said bowl, shoes 011 said platform to engage said locating members, and latches on said shoes, as set forth.

2. In a dough mixing and kneading machine, the combination comprising a portable bowl, a rotatable platform housed in said machine, locating members and buffers on said bowl, and shoes and abutments 011 said platform, saidshoes engaging said locating members and said abutments providing. stops for said buffers, as set forth.

3. In a dough mixing and kneading ma chine, the combination comprising a port'-' able bowl, runners, locating members and buffers on said bowl, a platform housed in said machine, a gudgeon integral with and projecting below said platform, means consisting in part of a gear wheel secured to said gudgeon for rotating the platform, and runner guards, locating shoes, shoe latches, and buffer stops integral with and projecting above the platform, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

JOHN EDWARD POINTON.
